Stacking Up To Four
Units
Figure 8 A stack of two units
You can stack up to four Switch units using a single SuperStack II Switch
1100/3300 fitted with a Matrix Module and the appropriate number of
Matrix Cables.
You only need one Switch 1100/3300 fitted with a Matrix Module for
each stack.
To stack up to four Switch units:
1 Power-off all the units.
2 Arrange the units as required. They can be rack-mounted or
free-standing; if you choose to have them free-standing, remember to
position the rubber feet as detailed in "Placing Units On Top of Each
Other" on page 25. When positioning the units, note that Matrix Cables
are 1m (3.28ft) long.
3 Install the Matrix Module into a Switch 1100/3300 unit. You can find
instructions for doing this in the documentation that accompanies the
Matrix Module. We recommend that for ease of configuration, the Matrix
Module should be installed in the bottom Switch of your stack.
4 Connect the Matrix Cables, as shown in Figure 9:
a Connect a Matrix Cable to the port marked Unit 1 on the Matrix
Module. Connect the other end of this cable to the matrix port of the
Switch that contains the Matrix Module.
b Connect a second Matrix Cable to the port marked Unit 2 on the
Matrix Module. Connect the other end of this cable to the matrix port
of the second Switch.
c Repeat steps a and b for any additional units.
